Thank you both of you. I tell you there will be a lot of practising, I'm always reading something new to try. Then I don't come across the occasion to use what I've just found, then I forget about it!!!! #9196534Carolyn J. Connolly January 29, 2011

Wonderful colour and sheen on this leaf Chris - I am not so hot on the close-ups unless I use a tripod and often I am too lazy hmmmmm not good :-( #9205106Chris Ebben February 02, 2011
I'm not that well trained to use a tripod either. I just have to fluke it. #9209307Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
